  • Morphological Evolution and Modularity of the Caecilian Skull Carla Bardua1,2* , Mark Wilkinson1, David J
    Bardua et al. BMC Evolutionary Biology (2019) 19:30 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-018-1342-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Morphological evolution and modularity of the caecilian skull Carla Bardua1,2* , Mark Wilkinson1, David J. Gower1, Emma Sherratt3 and Anjali Goswami1,2 Abstract Background: Caecilians (Gymnophiona) are the least speciose extant lissamphibian order, yet living forms capture approximately 250 million years of evolution since their earliest divergences. This long history is reflected in the broad range of skull morphologies exhibited by this largely fossorial, but developmentally diverse, clade. However, this diversity of form makes quantification of caecilian cranial morphology challenging, with highly variable presence or absence of many structures. Consequently, few studies have examined morphological evolution across caecilians. This extensive variation also raises the question of degree of conservation of cranial modules (semi-autonomous subsets of highly-integrated traits) within this clade, allowing us to assess the importance of modular organisation in shaping morphological evolution. We used an intensive surface geometric morphometric approach to quantify cranial morphological variation across all 32 extant caecilian genera. We defined 16 cranial regions using 53 landmarks and 687 curve and 729 surface sliding semilandmarks. With these unprecedented high-dimensional data, we analysed cranial shape and modularity across caecilians assessing phylogenetic, allometric and ecological influences on cranial evolution, as well as investigating the relationships among integration, evolutionary rate, and morphological disparity. Results: We found highest support for a ten-module model, with greater integration of the posterior skull. Phylogenetic signal was significant (Kmult =0.87,p < 0.01), but stronger in anterior modules, while allometric influences were also significant (R2 =0.16,p < 0.01), but stronger posteriorly.

  • A Review of Chemical Defense in Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae): Ecology, Pharmacokinetics, and Autoresistance
    Chapter 21 A Review of Chemical Defense in Poison Frogs (Dendrobatidae): Ecology, Pharmacokinetics, and Autoresistance Juan C. Santos , Rebecca D. Tarvin , and Lauren A. O’Connell 21.1 Introduction Chemical defense has evolved multiple times in nearly every major group of life, from snakes and insects to bacteria and plants (Mebs 2002 ). However, among land vertebrates, chemical defenses are restricted to a few monophyletic groups (i.e., clades). Most of these are amphibians and snakes, but a few rare origins (e.g., Pitohui birds) have stimulated research on acquired chemical defenses (Dumbacher et al. 1992 ). Selective pressures that lead to defense are usually associated with an organ- ism’s limited ability to escape predation or conspicuous behaviors and phenotypes that increase detectability by predators (e.g., diurnality or mating calls) (Speed and Ruxton 2005 ). Defended organisms frequently evolve warning signals to advertise their defense, a phenomenon known as aposematism (Mappes et al. 2005 ). Warning signals such as conspicuous coloration unambiguously inform predators that there will be a substantial cost if they proceed with attack or consumption of the defended prey (Mappes et al. 2005 ). However, aposematism is likely more complex than the simple pairing of signal and defense, encompassing a series of traits (i.e., the apose- matic syndrome) that alter morphology, physiology, and behavior (Mappes and J.

  • First Record of the Genus Microcaecilia Taylor, 1968 (Amphibia, Gymnophiona: Siphonopidae) from Peru
    Herpetology Notes, volume 8: 55-57 (2015) (published online on 10 March 2015) First record of the genus Microcaecilia Taylor, 1968 (Amphibia, Gymnophiona: Siphonopidae) from Peru Jhon J. López-Rojas1,* and Devon Graham2,3 Abstract. We report the first record of the genus Microcaecilia in Peru from lowland, primary rainforest in Loreto, adding to its previously known geographic range from northwestern Colombia; Ecuador through southern Venezuela to the Guianas and São Paulo, Brazil. Two individuals of a species of this genus of small caecilians were found in deep leaf litter at the Reserva Forestal Santa Cruz, located approximately 30 km northeast of the city of Iquitos. We refer to these specimens as Microcaecilia sp. because of the current difficulty in confidently determining their identity. Among caecilian amphibians (Gymnophiona) of the al 2004b); and M. pricei, is known from the high family Siphonopidae Bonaparte, 1850 resurrected by elevations of the Cauca River Valley, in the Department Wilkinson et al. (2011), Microcaecilia Taylor, 1968 of Quindio, from the eastern region of the Department is the most speciose genus, currently containing 15 of Antioquia (Río Claro), and also from the Department species of small caecilians, including the recently of Santander (El Centro), occuring between 200 and described Microcaecilia savagei Donnelly and Wake, 2000m asl (Frost, 2014, Castro et al 2004c), both native 2013; M. dermatophaga Wilkinson, Sherratt, Starace, to Colombia. Microcaecilia albiceps has a previously and Gower, 2013; and M. marvaleewakeae Maciel recorded distribution along the Amazonian slopes of and Hoogmoed, 2013. The genus is so far known from the Cordillera Oriental of Ecuador (Napo Province) the eastern Amazonian slopes in Ecuador, Colombia and Colombia (Caquetá) at 300 and 800m asl (Castro and Venezuela, as well as in Guyana, Suriname, and et al., 2004a; Amphibian web, 2012; Frost, 2014), and Brazil (Frost, 2014).

  • Comparative Morphology of Caecilian Sperm (Amphibia: Gymnophiona)
    JOURNAL OF MORPHOLOGY 221:261-276 (1994) Com parative Morphology of Caecilian Sperm (Amp h i bi a: Gym nop h ion a) MAFWALEE H. WAKE Department of Integrative Biology and Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley, California 94720 ABSTRACT The morphology of mature sperm from the testes of 22 genera and 29 species representing all five families of caecilians (Amphibia: Gymnoph- iona) was examined at the light microscope level in order to: (1)determine the effectiveness of silver-staining techniques on long-preserved, rare material, (2) assess the comparative morphology of sperm quantitatively, (3) compare pat- terns of caecilian sperm morphology with that of other amphibians, and (4) determine if sperm morphology presents any characters useful for systematic analysis. Although patterns of sperm morphology are quite consistent intrage- nerically and intrafamilially, there are inconsistencies as well. Two major types of sperm occur among caecilians: those with very long heads and pointed acrosomes, and those with shorter, wider heads and blunt acrosomes. Several taxa have sperm with undulating membranes on the flagella, but limitations of the technique likely prevented full determination of tail morphology among all taxa. Cluster analysis is more appropriate for these data than is phylogenetic analysis. cc: 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
